Everton may have sold their leading scorer in Lukaku, but they have decided to reinvest in the squad and have real depth to tackle both the League and Europa League. Wayne Rooney was part of the Lukaku deal and he will want to prove to his doubters that he is not past his best. Stoke have not had the best summer which has seen them sell Marko Arnautovic to West Ham. They did bring in Kurt Zouma on loan but there is a strong chance that Stoke could be a surprise team in trouble this season. Despite Everton having one eye on a Europa League qualifier next week, they should be able to easily dispatch of Stoke.
